Webrtc-direct example

An example that uses js-libp2p-webrtc-direct for connecting nodejs libp2p and browser libp2p clients. To run the example:

0. Run a nodejs libp2p listener

When in the root folder of this example, type node listener.js in terminal. You should see an address that listens for incoming connections. Below is just an example of such address. In your case the suffix hash (peerId) will be different.

$ node listener.js 
Listening on:
/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/9090/http/p2p-webrtc-direct/p2p/QmUKQCzEUhhhobcNSrXU5uzxTqbvF1BjMCGNGZzZU14Kgd

1. Prepare a browser libp2p dialer

Confirm that the above address is the same as the field list in public/dialer.js:

    peerDiscovery: {
      [Bootstrap.tag]: {
        enabled: true,
        // paste the address into `list`
        list: ['/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/9090/http/p2p-webrtc-direct/p2p/QmUKQCzEUhhhobcNSrXU5uzxTqbvF1BjMCGNGZzZU14Kgd']
      }
    }

2. Run a browser libp2p dialer

When in the root folder of this example, type npm run dev in terminal. You should see an address where you can browse the running client. Open this address in your browser. In console logs you should see logs about successful connection with the node client. In the output of node client you should see a log message about successful connection as well.
